Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smelting equipment technology, and in particular to a converter coal washing system and a smelting system. Background Technology

[0002] During the smelting of steel in a converter, a large amount of brownish-yellow smoke is generated, mainly composed of CO, CO2, N2, and various types of dust. The flue gas temperature is very high (1400℃-1600℃). Failure to utilize this smoke would result in a waste of energy and materials. Therefore, converter production employs a flue gas recovery system and a coal washing system to recover and reuse CO, dust, and heat, respectively. The flue gas ejected from the furnace mouth first enters the vaporization cooling flue. The high-temperature flue gas passes through a waste heat recovery device, which lowers the flue gas temperature while simultaneously collecting and converting the heat energy for reuse. The cooled flue gas then enters a scrubbing tower, where the washing water repeatedly washes the flue gas, fully dissolving and filtering the dust. The remaining relatively pure gas is then recovered to the gas holder by a blower. The washing water used to filter the flue gas flows through a trough into the coal washing system for treatment and recycling. Throughout the converter production process, the converter coal washing system plays a crucial role in energy recovery and water resource reuse, making it an indispensable part of production.

[0003] After prolonged use, the converter coal washing system requires regular modification and maintenance. During the modification process, the entire system needs to be shut down, which will affect production. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a converter coal washing system for treating the rinsing water containing particulate matter that flows into the water tank during the converter steelmaking process. The system includes...

[0028] The water inlet main pipe 1 has its input end connected to the output end of the water tank, and at least two coarse particle separators 11 are connected in parallel on the water inlet main pipe 1.

[0029] Sedimentation tank 2, whose input end is connected to the output end of inlet water main pipe 1;

[0030] The first cooling unit 3 includes a first hot water well 31 and a first cooling tower 32. The input end of the first hot water well 31 is connected to the output end of the sedimentation tank 2 through a first circulation pipe 33. The output end of the first hot water well 31 is connected to the input end of a water pump 35 through multiple second circulation pipes 34. The output end of the water pump 35 is connected to the input end of the first cooling tower 32 through multiple third circulation pipes 36 corresponding to each of the second circulation pipes 34. Each second circulation pipe 34 is equipped with a second shut-off valve 341, and each third circulation pipe 36 is equipped with a third shut-off valve 361.

[0031] The second cooling unit 4 includes a second hot water well 41 and a second cooling tower 42. The input end of the second hot water well 41 is connected to the first circulation pipe 33 through a fourth circulation pipe 43. The output end of the second hot water well 41 is connected to each of the second circulation pipes 34 through multiple fifth circulation pipes 44. The input end of the second cooling tower 42 is connected to each of the third circulation pipes 36 through multiple sixth circulation pipes 45. Each fifth circulation pipe 44 is equipped with a fifth shut-off valve 441, and each sixth circulation pipe 45 is equipped with a sixth shut-off valve 451.

[0032] Specifically, when the flushing water containing particulate matter passes through the coarse particle separator 11 on the main water inlet 1, the large particles in the flushing water are screened out for recycling. The filtered flushing water flows into the sedimentation tank 2. After adding chemicals and letting it stand for a period of time, the flushing water in the sedimentation tank 2 exhibits stratification. Dust settles to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 2, while the upper part of the sedimentation tank 2 is clear water. At this time, the temperature of the separated clear water is relatively high. The high-temperature clear water first flows into the hot water well for buffering and transition, and then is sent to the cooling tower for cooling and finally circulated to the converter production equipment for recycling.

[0033] Specifically, this converter coal washing system has multiple coarse particle separators 11 connected in parallel on the main water inlet pipe 1, and is equipped with two sets of cooling units (i.e., the first cooling unit 3 and the second cooling unit 4). One set of cooling units is the unit in use, and the other set of cooling units is a standby or ready-to-use unit. When the cooling unit in use needs to be modified or maintained after a long period of use, the multiple sets of circulation pipes connected to the water pump 35 of the cooling unit in use will be closed one by one, and at the same time, the multiple sets of circulation pipes of the standby cooling unit will be connected to the water pump 35 one by one, so as to realize the replacement of the cooling unit without stopping the machine and ensure the normal operation of production activities.

[0034] Specifically, assuming the first cooling unit 3 is the cooling unit in use, when the cooling unit needs to be replaced, first close the second shut-off valve 341 on one of the second circulation pipes 34, and close the third shut-off valve 361 on the corresponding third circulation pipe 36; at the same time, open the fourth shut-off valve 431, and open the fifth shut-off valve 441 on the fifth circulation pipe 44 and the sixth shut-off valve 451 on the sixth circulation pipe 45, which are connected to the aforementioned shut-off second circulation pipes 34 and third circulation pipes 36; then, following the above steps, sequentially close the shut-off valves on one of the second circulation pipes 34 and third circulation pipes 36, and sequentially open the shut-off valves on the corresponding fifth circulation pipes 44 and sixth circulation pipes 45, until all the shut-off valves on the second circulation pipes 34 and third circulation pipes 36 of the first cooling unit 3 are closed (and the first shut-off valve 331 is closed), while all the shut-off valves on the fifth circulation pipes 44 and sixth circulation pipes 45 of the second cooling unit 4 are open, and the replacement of the cooling unit without stopping the machine is completed.

[0035] Specifically, when the second circulation pipeline 34 and the third circulation pipeline 36 are connected to water pumps, each corresponding set of second circulation pipelines 34 and third circulation pipelines 36 can be connected to a water pump, or they can be connected to a water pump at the same time. The specific settings can be made according to the number of pipelines and the site conditions.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a thickening tank 5 and a filter press 6. The input end of the thickening tank 5 is connected to the sedimentation tank 2 via a feed pipe, and the output end of the thickening tank 5 is connected to the input end of the filter press 6 via a discharge pipe. A slurry pump 7 is installed on the feed pipe. Specifically, the slurry pump 7 can pump the sediment in the sedimentation tank 2 into the thickening tank 5, and finally, the slurry is further processed and utilized by the filter press 6.

[0037] Furthermore, a first shut-off valve 331 is installed on the first circulation pipeline 33.

[0038] Furthermore, a fourth shut-off valve 431 is installed on the fourth circulation pipeline 43. It is conceivable that the second cooling unit can be constructed in advance for backup, and can also be constructed according to the planned modification and upgrade schedule of the first cooling unit.

[0039] Furthermore, it includes a reagent addition device, which is installed on the sedimentation tank 2 for adding reagents to the sedimentation tank 2.

[0040] Furthermore, a pH meter is installed in sedimentation tank 2. Specifically, the pH meter can monitor and adjust the pH value in sedimentation tank 2 in real time to ensure that the reagents operate under optimal pH conditions, which is beneficial to improving sedimentation effect and treatment efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, sedimentation tank 2 adopts an inclined plate sedimentation tank. Inclined plate sedimentation tanks have high sedimentation efficiency, small footprint, and good adaptability and energy-saving characteristics.

[0042] Furthermore, at least one secondary inlet pipe is connected in parallel to the main inlet pipe 1, and a coarse particle separator 11 is connected to both the secondary inlet pipe and the main inlet pipe 1 at both ends of the secondary inlet pipe.

[0043] Furthermore, each coarse particle separator 11 is equipped with a seventh shut-off valve 111 on the pipelines connected to both ends. When replacing or maintaining a single coarse particle separator 11, the corresponding seventh shut-off valve can be closed to carry out the relevant work. Example 2

[0044] This utility model also discloses a smelting system, including a converter coal washing system as described in Example 1.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
